Mosteiro A, Codes M, Tafuto R, Manfrellotti R, Torales J, Enseñat J, Di Somma A, Prats-Galino A. Transorbital approach to the cavernous sinus: an anatomical study of the related cranial nerves. Front Neuroanat 2024; 18:1367533. [PMID: 38693948 PMCID: PMC11061526 DOI: 10.3389/fnana.2024.1367533] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/08/2024] [Accepted: 03/06/2024] [Indexed: 05/03/2024] Open
Abstract
Background The cavernous sinus (CS) is a demanding surgical territory, given its deep location and the involvement of multiple neurovascular structures. Subjected to recurrent discussion on the optimal surgical access, the endoscopic transorbital approach has been recently proposed as a feasible route for selected lesions in the lateral CS. Still, for this technique to safely evolve and consolidate, a comprehensive anatomical description of involved cranial nerves, dural ligaments, and arterial relations is needed. Objective Detailed anatomical description of the CS, the course of III, IV, VI, and V cranial nerves, and C3-C7 segments of the carotid artery, all described from the ventrolateral endoscopic transorbital perspective. Methods Five embalmed human cadaveric heads (10 sides) were dissected. An endoscopic transorbital approach with lateral orbital rim removal, anterior clinoidectomy, and petrosectomy was performed. The course of the upper cranial nerves was followed from their apparent origin in the brainstem, through the middle fossa or cavernous sinus, and up to their entrance to the orbit. Neuronavigation was used to follow the course of the nerves and to measure their length of surgical exposure. Results The transorbital approach allowed us to visualize the lateral wall of the CS, with cranial nerves III, IV, V1-3, and VI. Anterior clinoidectomy and opening of the frontal dura and the oculomotor triangle revealed the complete course of the III nerve, an average of 37 (±2) mm in length. Opening the trigeminal pore and cutting the tentorium permitted to follow the IV nerve from its course around the cerebral peduncle up to the orbit, an average of 54 (±4) mm. Opening the infratrochlear triangle revealed the VI nerve intracavernously and under Gruber's ligament, and the extended petrosectomy allowed us to see its cisternal portion (27 ± 6 mm). The trigeminal root was completely visible and so were its three branches (46 ± 2, 34 ± 3, and 31 ± 1 mm, respectively). Conclusion Comprehensive anatomic knowledge and extensive surgical expertise are required when addressing the CS. The transorbital corridor exposes most of the cisternal and the complete cavernous course of involved cranial nerves. This anatomical article helps understanding relations of neural, vascular, and dural structures involved in the CS approach, essential to culminating the learning process of transorbital surgery.

The Transorbital Approach, A Game-Changer in Neurosurgery: A Guide to Safe and Reliable Surgery Based on Anatomical Principles. J Clin Med 2023; 12:6484. [PMID: 37892624 PMCID: PMC10607762 DOI: 10.3390/jcm12206484] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/18/2023] [Revised: 10/06/2023] [Accepted: 10/09/2023] [Indexed: 10/29/2023] Open
Abstract
During the last few years, the superior eyelid endoscopic transorbital approach has been proposed as a new minimally invasive pathway to access skull base lesions, mostly in ophthalmologic, otolaryngologic, and maxillofacial surgeries. However, most neurosurgeons performing minimally invasive endoscopic neurosurgery do not usually employ the orbit as a surgical corridor. The authors undertook this technical and anatomical study to contribute a neurosurgical perspective, exploring the different possibilities of this novel route. Ten dissections were performed on ten formalin-fixed specimens to further refine the transorbital technique. As part of the study, the authors also report an illustrative transorbital surgery case to further detail key surgical landmarks. Herein, we would like to discuss equipment, key anatomical landmarks, and surgical skills and stress the steps and details to ensure a safe and successful procedure. We believe it could be critical to promote and encourage the neurosurgical community to overcome difficulties and ensure a successful surgery by following these key recommendations.

Endoscopic transorbital resection of the temporal lobe: anatomic qualitative and quantitative study. Front Neuroanat 2023; 17:1282226. [PMID: 37818154 PMCID: PMC10560990 DOI: 10.3389/fnana.2023.1282226] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/23/2023] [Accepted: 08/30/2023] [Indexed: 10/12/2023] Open
Abstract
Objective Starting from an anatomic study describing the possibility of reaching the temporal region through an endoscopic transorbital approach, many clinical reports have now demonstrated the applicability of this strategy when dealing with intra-axial lesions. The study aimed to provide both a qualitative anatomic description of the temporal region, as seen through a transorbital perspective, and a quantitative analysis of the amount of temporal lobe resection achievable via this route. Material and methods A total of four cadaveric heads (eight sides) were dissected at the Laboratory of Surgical Neuroanatomy (LSNA) of the University of Barcelona, Spain. A stepwise description of the resection of the temporal lobe through a transorbital perspective is provided. Qualitative anatomical descriptions and quantitative analysis of the amount of the resection were evaluated by means of pre- and post-dissection CT and MRI scans, and three-dimensional reconstructions were made by means of BrainLab®Software. Results The transorbital route gives easy access to the temporal region, without the need for extensive bone removal. The resection of the temporal lobe proceeded in a subpial fashion, mimicking what happens in a surgical scenario. According to our quantitative analysis, the mean volume removed was 51.26%, with the most superior and lateral portion of the temporal lobe being the most difficult to reach. Conclusion This anatomic study provides qualitative and quantitative details about the resection of the temporal lobe via an endoscopic transorbital approach. Our results showed that the resection of more than half of the temporal lobe is possible through this surgical corridor. While the anterior, inferior, and mesial portions of the temporal lobe were easily accessible, the most superior and lateral segment was more difficult to reach and resect. Our study serves as an integration to the current anatomic knowledge and clinical practice knowledge highlighting and also as a starting point for further anatomic studies addressing more selected segments of the temporal lobe, i.e., the mesial temporal region.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The transorbital approaches (TOAs) have acquired growing notoriety, thanks to their ability to offer alternative corridors to the skull base. However, the limited access and the unfamiliarity with this surgical perspective make recognition of key landmarks difficult, especially for less experienced surgeons. The study wants to offer a detailed description of the anatomy to comprehend the potential and limitations of TOAs. METHODS Measurements of the orbit region and the surrounding areas were performed on two hundred high-resolution CT scans and thirty-nine dry skulls. Five specimens were dissected to illustrate the TOA, and one was used to perform the extradural clinoidectomy. Three clinical cases highlighted the surgical applications. RESULTS A step-by-step description of the key steps of the TOA was proposed and a comparison with the transcranial anterior clinoidectomy was discussed. The mean work distance was 6.1 ± 0.4 cm, and the lateral working angle increased 20 ± 5.4° after removing the lateral orbital rim. CONCLUSIONS TOAs are indicated in selected cases when tumor involves the lateral portion of the cavernous sinus or the middle skull base, obtaining a direct decompression of the optic nerve and avoiding excessive manipulation of the neurovascular structures. Comprehension of surgical anatomy of the orbit and its surrounding structures is essential to safely perform these approaches.

Abstract
In order to master the surgical approaches to the middle cranial fossa, the surgeon needs to understand the relevant bony anatomy. However, she/he also needs to have a clear and sound understanding of the neural and vascular anatomy because, oftentimes, the osseous anatomy (except for the optic apparatus) should be removed to expose and protect the neurovascular anatomy. This is the second of a two-part article discussing the neurovascular anatomy of the middle cranial fossa. A brief discussion of the surgical approaches follows.

Superior eyelid endoscopic transorbital approach to the tentorial area: A qualitative and quantitative anatomic study. Front Surg 2022; 9:1007447. [PMID: 36338650 PMCID: PMC9634414 DOI: 10.3389/fsurg.2022.1007447] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/30/2022] [Accepted: 09/21/2022] [Indexed: 11/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective Superior eyelid endoscopic transorbital approach (SETOA) is nowadays gaining progressive application in neurosurgical scenarios. Both anatomic and clinical reports have demonstrated the possibility of taking advantage of the orbital corridor as a minimally invasive route to reach anterior and middle cranial fossae and manage selected surgical lesions developing in these areas. The aim of this paper is to further shed light on other anatomic regions of the skull base as seen from a transorbital perspective, namely, the posterior cranial fossa and tentorial area, describing technical feasibility and steps in reaching this area through an extradural-transtentorial approach and providing quantitative evaluations of the "working area" obtained through this route. Material and methods Four cadaveric heads (eight sides) were dissected at the Laboratory of Surgical Neuroanatomy (LSNA) of the University of Barcelona, Spain. A stepwise dissection of the transorbital approach to the tentorial area was described. Qualitative anatomical descriptions and quantitative analyses of working were evaluated by using pre- and postdissections CT and MRI scans, and three-dimensional reconstructions were made using Amira software. Results With the endoscopic transorbital approach, posterior cranial fossa dura was reached by an extradural middle cranial fossa approach and drilling of the petrous apex. After clipping the superior petrosal sinus, the tentorium was divided and cut. An endoscope was then introduced in the posterior cranial fossa at the level of the tentorial incisura. Qualitative analysis provided a description of the tentorial and petrosal surfaces of the cerebellum, middle tentorial incisura, cerebellopontine fissures, and, after arachnoid dissection, by a 30° endoscopic visualization, the posterior aspect of the cerebellomesencephalic fissure. Quantitative analysis of the "working area" obtained after bone removal was also provided. Conclusions This anatomic qualitative and quantitative study sheds light on the anatomy of the posterior cranial fossa contents, such as the tentorial area and incisura, as seen through a transorbital perspective. The first aim of the article is to enrich the anatomical knowledge as seen through this relatively new corridor and to provide quantitative details and insights into the technical feasibility of reaching these regions in a surgical scenario.
